Possible intruder shot, killed in Miami near I-95, police say; 1 person being questioned

Police in Miami are continuing to investigate after a man, who may have been an intruder, was shot and killed early Monday morning.

Few details have been released, but Miami police said they responded to reports of a shooting at 4606 Northwest 5th Avenue, east of Interstate 95, just after 5 a.m.

Miami Fire-Rescue told CBS News Miami that crews also responded to the scene, and said they found a man, believed to be in his 40s, suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Video from the scene showed two people who had been taken into custody for questioning. However, Miami police said one person was currently being questioned in connection to the incident in an updated release.

"What we know thus far, and this is very preliminary, is that a person believed to be an intruder may have been the person who was shot," said Miami Police spokeswoman Officer Kenia Fallat. "We also have one person at the station that we are speaking to."

Fallat said it is not yet clear whether the resident is a homeowner or a tenant, and police are seeking a search warrant to enter the home.

"Detectives are on the scene combing through the evidence that they obtained and possibly trying to gather video from neighboring homes," Fallat said. "There is a lot that we don't know. We are speaking to a person at the station, and we are hoping that he is going to tell us what happened."

Police are appealing to the community for assistance.

"We are asking the public if they can give us additional information because that information, no matter how little it is, may be instrumental to help detectives with the investigation," Fallat said.

Neighbors now say they're concerned for their safety.

"It's not surprising, unfortunately," Jake Schuster said. "And it's disappointing because I travel a lot for work. And I always hope that my wife can feel safe walking our dogs when I'm away. But I guess we'll have to take a different route now."

Judy Winter, a homeowner who has lived in the neighborhood for a decade, said the situation is troubling.

"I think this is a very scary situation. A home invasion. Imagine if that is what happened," Winter said. "I am very upset, as anybody who hears this story and knows what happened will probably want to secure their homes a little more tonight."

Winter noted that neighbors want clarity on whether the location was targeted.

"It could have been they knew each other, or maybe he was going there looking for something," Winter said. "Anybody living here would like to get a lot of questions answered. The questions are: Was it a random invasion, or was there a reason behind it? That is the big question."

Anyone with information is urged to call Miami Police or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
